Among Wolves: Gordon Haber's Insights Into Alaska's Most Misunderstood Animal - Paperback
by Marybeth Holleman (Author), Gordon Haber (Author)
Alaska's wolves lost their fiercest advocate, Gordon Haber, when his research plane crashed in Denali National Park in 2009. Passionate, tenacious, and occasionally brash, Haber, a former hockey player and park ranger, devoted his life to Denali's wolves.
He weathered brutal temperatures in the wild to document the wolves and provided exceptional insights into wolf behavior. Haber's writings and photographs reveal an astonishing degree of cooperation between wolf family members as they hunt, raise pups, and play, social behaviors and traditions previously unknown. With the wolves at risk of being destroyed by hunting and trapping, his studies advocated for a balanced approach to wolf management. His fieldwork registered as one of the longest studies in wildlife science and had a lasting impact on wolf policies. Haber's field notes, his extensive journals, and stories from friends all come together in Among Wolves to reveal much about both the wolves he studied and the researcher himself. Wolves continue to fascinate and polarize people, and Haber's work continues to resonate.Gordon Haber (1942-2009) studied wolves in Denali National Park and interior Alaska for forty-three years. Marybeth Holleman is author of The Heart of the Sound and coeditor of Crosscurrents North. She has lived in Alaska's Chugach Mountains for twenty-five years.
